Adam Sweeting “Chris Squire obituary” http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/jun/29/chris-squire
クリス・スクワイア追悼記事。ただ内容はクリス・スクワイアという個人のバイオグラフィではなくイエスというバンドの歴史。彼自身にフォーカスしたパラグラフは、最後の遺族への言及を除いては、
くらいか。スクワイアの音楽的なキャリアのエピソードとしては、ジミー・ペイジ、アラン・ホワイト*2とのXYZというプロジェクトの頓挫はもっと詳しく言及されてしかるべきだとは思うのだが。
Squire’s favourite instrument was a 1964 Rickenbacker bass guitar, which he played throughout his career. It helped to mould his agile, melodic sound and gave it a cutting tone that ensured that it was prominent in the group’s sound, particularly so since Squire often played in a higher register than many rock bassists. This reflected the influence of one of his idols, John Entwistle of the Who. “I developed that trebly bass thing a little further,” said Squire, who would visit the Marquee club, London, weekly in the mid-60s to see the Who play.
